Bulletin Board Notices
Like a kitchen bulletin board, we will paste here little items about CTIAHS happenings for our “family” of members and friends.
WISH LIST
Some Additional Space
The CTIAHS shares space with four other historical societies, collectively known as the Ethnic Heritage Center, in a building at Southern Connecticut State University. But we are outgrowing our allotted space. Our library is increasing with new books, magazines, family histories, documents, records, etc. We would love to have more space – a room or two somewhere to help us keep pace with the new materials that are constantly being donated. We could also use the space for permanent exhibits. For example, many people came to see our exhibit about Irish baseball players in Connecticut, but we had to take it down after several months for lack of space. If we had an extra room, we could make it a permanent exhibit.
World War I Pictures
Someone also suggested that we ask if anyone has World War I pictures. Pictures of Connecticut Irish soldiers, sailors, airmen, nurses, Knights of Columbus volunteers, Irish people working in defense plants here in Connecticut. We doubt if there are very many such pictures still around. But if people send us copies of some, we could put them on our website and publish them in The Shanachie as a special World War I collection.
